A new improved gaming rig for around the same price as my last post but losing the ssd drive in favour of a GTX 970 and an improved i5 skylake processor. I reckon I could install an sad myself at some point. And that 3 year warranty on all costs.
Now I don't know if this is a mistake as it seems very cheap to me, I am going to purchase this machine I think, but I keep thinking Im going to miss out on a better deal.
Anyway lets see what you think, I think its a deal myself.

So close, so so deservingly close. This should have been the hottest deal to have ever walked the site.
Yep price cuts on all nvidia cards in coming for holiday season

you'll need a OS and possibly a PSU (none listed and will prob be junk) but yeah it's fantastic value

How long will it be until retailers reflect the price drop? Looking to get a 980 but not at it's current price.

the price seems to be correct. so where is the deal? is you do the system from scratch you will have the same price... or similar

Or else they've actually just typed 970 when they were supposed to type 960. That's also been known to happen. :/

With a 3 year collect and return warranty...... the PSU can be a 250W for all i care.

thats much cheaper than what i can buy all the bits for .including that skylake 3.6

just to add.
It £544 if you remove the wi-fi card

if there was a mistype would it be easy enough to get a refund from these guys??
Elevation
2 Dec 15#28
Not knocking the deal at all no - it is damn good. Just hope they would honour a refund if they did mess up, and not just re-type it and go "eh? It says 960. Sorry guv".
Mathaeus
2 Dec 15#29
Pretty good deal that.. I would buy and SSD separate and put your OS and main apps on it though! :smiley: then you got to start looking for a decent monitor, and gaming keyboard/mouse! Which might nearly double this price but THEN you will be away.. Pc gaming is a nightmare :s
nice-new
2 Dec 15#30
It would still be a good price with a GTX 960, but with a 970 it can't be true. And the 3.6GHz i5 CPU can only be the Intel Core i5-6600K.
the_quick
2 Dec 15#31
components one they own add to £550 so I would say cracking deal. I would invest in slightly better mobo, but still good deal.

Added Windows 10, Samsung 1080p monitor and a 250SSD and that went to £775? Good price in my opinion?
PapaDom
2 Dec 15#37
If you go to the customise section and select a GTX 960, you have to add and extra £5... I'm guessing what went wrong here is that they mispriced the GTX 970.
Creatzy
2 Dec 15#38
i would file an eBay claim to say that the product doesn't match the description.
and get my money back
ThatTechGuy
2 Dec 15#40
Looks like a decent rig, However as most of these cheap custom builds go, They use unreliable PSU that can make a PC more or less crash & burn. Not to mention the un-named motherboards which are most likely cheap and may even bottleneck some "high end" components that they use to draw people into buying it.
mattr
2 Dec 15#42
:disappointed: Was just speccing it with 16GB + 2TB hard disk too and removing the wireless took that to £597... :disappointed:
Are there any decent gaming pc deals out there - I've barely seen anything decent recently.

yeah shame I was close to buying this. I am looking for a decent gaming machine which is also useful for 4k video editing happy to spend up to 1200 - any advice? should I wait till the New Year? I was looking at Chillblast but they soon get expensive...

They have more than one on sale though, all the items listed by them have been mispriced by the look of it.
They have a lot of different prices for the same item though I have sent it for £632 just now relisted. So always check there other listings first if you buy from them.
Danjw91
2 Dec 15#52
Surely if you bought it they have to sell it to you for that price unless you agree to the cancellation of it due to it being a selling site. Otherwise people who put stuff up could always say "I ain't selling it for that as it didn't make the price I wanted it to"
frakison to Danjw91
2 Dec 151#56
I've had a few winning bids cancelled due to the item not reaching the price point, why would they be any different? Most retailers protect themselves with T&C that state contract is formed on DESPATCH, i.e when they cant do anything about it!!! This argument pops up EVERY time, think about it, if it was YOUR business, would you honour a genuine price error if it put you £1,000s out of pocket?? :smirk:
QuickProfits
2 Dec 15#53
Yes, that is the cheapest for those exact specs from them.
While I have some attention in this thread is an R7 4gb better than a 960 2gb
QuickProfits to ___Josh____
2 Dec 15#57
"The 960 by a fair margin the extra 2GB of video memory doesn't help as far as the graphics horsepower available from the 960, on the other hand a 380 would be a better option due to the similar performance to the 960 and the larger frame buffer."

When you see the original listing on Ebay - it says more than 10 available. The listing was closed with 2 sold. I wonder if the 2 buyers will get the order purchase or a cancellation ...

Hi, If you would like to drop us a message through eBay we would be able to check how the order has come through on our end and what parts should be in that system. as it was an incorrect listing it is possible that something has gotten mixed up along the way but if this is the case we will do our best to sort this out!

Hahahahaha!
Creatzy
2 Dec 15#65
Hi Sam, Nothing got mixed up, so don't throw a GTX 960 and think i won't notice (or accept) it.
It will cost you more to collect the PC and replace the parts and then send it back to me,
the only mix up was the price, not the spec.
It doesn't matter how it came through on the system,you should be building it based on my order sheet "from eBay"
If it doesn't match the spec you sold it, then I'm afraid you will have mis sold me.
I plan to take you to court, win my case, and file for damages and loss of earnings and time, buy your company with my Judgment.
I will then Build the computer to the correct spec, fulfil my own order.... (not any of the others.)
Deliver the computer to myself,and i will then sell you your own business back for £544
Don't say i haven't warned you CCL !

"Cancel a transaction
When you need to cancel a transaction, it's a good practice to first let the buyer know you're canceling it and why.
You can cancel a transaction:
Up to 30 days after the sale
Even if your buyer has already paid for the item"
Fair play to them if they do honour the order, but if you were in there shoes would you risk your companies financial stability when you don't have to? I'm sure we all knew the deal was too good to be true.
Creatzy
2 Dec 151#67
Thanks for the t&c's,Hotshot.
I don't need to calm down, i'm as cool as cucumber.
If CCL want to cancel my order and write an eBay message to me explaining that the next time I'm in town
they will treat me to a slap up Bradford take away, then its all good.
They've only got to say,sorry mate it was an error, here's a chicken kebab
No problemo.......
But thanks for the law, Cupcake

Have you heard yourself lol your acting like CCL will go into liquidation for honouring these PCs, no mate theyre probably still in a profit at this price and if not just breaking even.. If I was the company id honour the orders, its the companies fault after all.

Just spoke to a very helpful chap called Shaun at CCL
I asked if I would have my machine honoured at the price I paid for the spec listed on eBay,I explained I was happy to accept a cancellation because I understand that price mistakes happen,he said that all orders had been honoured, and that the price has now been corrected

You did better then me just had email to cancel my order no explanation.

As I have posted in the past . It is called the law of contract, which is offer , acceptance and consideraton .
If they have actually taken your money then they have to honour the deal.

They have I had cleared funds via PayPal and they had taken it
frakison to Proveright
4 Dec 15#84
I think that you need to check your facts. If it was a shop, then yes, contract is formed when cash changes hands, but as far as I'm aware ONLINE CONTRACTS are usually formed on despatch. This is usually clearly expressed within the T&C of the company and as such is totally legal. They basically say that until it's been sent out, i.e when it's too late for them to do anything, it can be cancelled. This is mainly due to too many etailers getting stung by price errors, if you feel that I'm wrong, feel free to take a case to court....
frakison to Proveright
5 Dec 15#86
A quick look on their website and their T&C reveals this:
3.4. Acceptance of your order and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place on dispatch to you of the products ordered unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled it.
3.5. Errors and omissions are excepted. Images are for illustrative purposes only
I think that proves my point, feel free to try your theory, but you're wrong!!

I am really p****d off with this company.
I placed an order over a week ago which had a delivery date for this week. I called on the day I expected it to be told it was delayed a day and I should receive it the following. I did not get a dispatch email so chased again, the story this time is that it hasn't even been built as they are awaiting stock.
I'm starting to worry now at the build quality and can see upset on xmas morning. Im not too techy so can only check it powers up etc but other than that I have to trust it works ok.
Takes forever to get through on the phone and they seem so uninterested when you finally speak to them. They don't answer ebay messages or emails either.
Wish I had gone elsewhere now :disappointed:

I don't work for CCL but I think that you have to bear in mind that they will most likely be experiencing a higher than usual demand, the chance are that they are just busy meeting orders. Just keep trying to contact them, I'm sure it will all be fine, although I do sympathise with your sense of panic!! :smiley:
frakison
4 Dec 15#85
But.... it's not been despatched!! They are perfectly within their rights to cancel and return your money. This has been covered time after time after time on here, no one ever wins unless the company decides to honour the price error, which is what this is. By all means try it on, I would, but if they stand by the cancellation, accept it and move on, it's less painful :smiley:
Creatzy
11 Dec 15#88
I Was Told via member of staff at CCL my order was accepted.
Anyway it doesn't matter, they refund the full amount, they was very polite and professional over the phone.
They've been around along time, so they must be doing more right than wrong.

11 Dec 15#89
Doesn't matter if the CEO of the company told you, they have T&C to protect themselves. Like you said, they were professional and did what they should have done, if it were my company, I'd have chucked you a voucher to smooth it over, but that's me! :smiley:

Those who ordered and had it cancelled had a lucky escape imo.
I mentioned last week that I was awaiting an order which had passed the delivery date and I was told different stories about waiting for parts to that its not even started build:(
I received it last week and after assurances that they test all pcs before despatch I decided to check. It had been built into a case where the hdmi port from the graphics card wasn't accessible so I could not plug to monitor. Tried a few things over the phone and was then told to pack it up to return.
I returned early last week and was told it would be back in a couple of days, no communication so I called today to be told they had not started working on it yet due to so many returns.
This is an xmas gift obviously and i ordered with plenty of time to spare but I am still in a panic.
I could not recommend at all, I think they have taken way too many orders and they are still advertising on ebay.
Gutted how this has turned out to say the least and my order was not one of the price errors, just a normal ebay sale.
